MC7455 QMI no Virtual Interface gets created and no connection

Hy everyone,

First of all this setup worked 2 years ago like charm.

Hardware:
APU2C4 with mSata

The Topic describes the problem really good.

I`m using LuCi to configure it.

uqmi commands output:

uqmi -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --get-serving-system

{

    "registration": "registered",
    "plmn_mcc": 232,
    "plmn_mnc": 3,
    "plmn_description": "HoT",
    "roaming": false

}
uqmi -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --get-signal-info

{

	"type": "lte",

	"rssi": -57,

	"rsrq": -9,

	"rsrp": -90,

	"snr": 154

}


uqmi -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --get-data-status

"disconnected"


uqmi -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --get-current-settings

"Out of call"

uqmi -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --wda-get-data-format

"raw-ip"


As you can see everything looks fine so far.
I did the same things to get it work as 2 years ago.

the virtual interface simply doesn`t get created and i get no ip.

what can i do?

As addition i can issue AT Commands with no problem.

Another user has just created a thread and complains about problems with LTE and QMI.

Is there a serious problem with QMI in the new release?

Really no one having an idea whats wrong?

i also rebuilt now several times with the imagebuilder.
no luck

Hi

What Openwrt version are you using?
Have you set /sys/class/net/$ifname/qmi/raw_ip to Y?
cat /sys/class/net/$ifname/qmi/raw_ip

i'm using master branch for imagebuilder.

ls /sys/class/net/
br-lan   eth0     eth2     gretap0  wlan0
erspan0  eth1     gre0     lo       wwan0

the cat command says:

cat /sys/class/net/wwan0/qmi/raw_ip
cat: can't open '/sys/class/net/wwan0/qmi/raw_ip': No such file or directory

Which means that you aren't using the qmi_wwan driver. My guess is that the modem is in MBIM mode. So that explains your problem. Don't try to use uqmi with MBIM modems....

Yes, I see that you get QMI replies. This is a known problem. The modem autodetects the management protocol based on what it sees first. So if you try to talk QMI to it, then it will talk QMI back. The problem is that this is completely disconnected from the framing, so it won't work. You can't use MBIM framing with QMI management.

Either change modem to QMI mode or change your configuration to use MBIM.

Hy @bmork modem was indeed in mbim mode.. really dont know why..

i changed it with these command:

AT!ENTERCND="A710"
AT!RMARESET=1
AT!RESET

now im in QMI mode.

at!usbcomp?

Config Index: 1
Config Type:  1 (Generic)
Interface bitmask: 0000050D (diag,nmea,modem,rmnet0,rmnet1)

but it didn`t really changed the behavior.

No Connection. No Virtual Interface.

BTW:

root@OpenWrt:/# cat /sys/class/net/wwan0/qmi/raw_ip
Y

is now also set or better said was set automatically

Ok Guys.

I feel dumb :joy:

For everyone having the same issue:

My Provider had these APN setting on their webpage:


APN: "some apn"

User: None

Password: None

Because User and Password where "None" I choose Authentication: None

Which was wrong.

I had to choose:

Authentication : PAP/CHAP

And leave user and password empty.

Also, I had to choose


PDP Type: IPV4 ONLY

That did the trick.
